Ta Promh was the first stop on our tour of the temples and on our first day in Cambodia. Fortunately our knowledgeable guide was able to explain much of the history of the temple and its religious si…Full review by jpcheshire1615

We felt like adventurers at Ta Prohm, where the ancient temple is embraced by giant tree roots. The atmosphere is mysterious and photogenic, making it one of our favorite spots in Angkor.Full review by Fjalar S

Cambodia is very inexpensive for the most part. Regarding how long to stay, there's not a lot to do other than Angkor Wat and some people really want to spend a lot of time at the temples; we did not. We took a countryside bike tour through Grasshopper Tours (I recommend - this was my 2nd tour with them and they do a great job) and it was enjoyable but not that special. Their Vietnam countryside tour was much more interesting. We did not venture out of the cities and would not suggest that you do either unless you are taking anti-malaria medication - outside Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, you are in malaria country. On that note, be sure you bring good Deet-based mosquito repellent. All they sell here is the lemongrass or citronella nonsense. Have fun!

I would suggest 3 nights in Phnom Pehn, 2-3 nights in Kampot relaxing in a river bungalow, 4-5 nights on Koh Rong Samloem (also super relaxing with a few short hiking trails) and 3 nights in Siem Reap. Ofcourse more nights if you would like to see other places.
I would like to know when is the best time to visit the Ta Prohm temple to avoid the crowds. Many visitors here said that even in the morning at 7:30 there were a lot of people waiting for the gates to open. Also sunset time doesn't give me enough leeway to take plenty of pictures. I've read that lunch time would be another possibility. Between which hours at lunch time would I have best chances? Thank you!

the hours just leading to lunch time, preferably 12 noon onward can be a good option , since you would also need some time in the complex . We also looked for corners away from the …
the hours just leading to lunch time, preferably 12 noon onward can be a good option , since you would also need some time in the complex . We also looked for corners away from the usual pathway where one can get a good snap of the temple along with the enormous trees. Have a great trip.
